Red and Pink for Mothers Day

I have joined in on Anonyme Scrapperes "Anonyme Timeglass"-challenge.I just hope I find time and inspiration to finish all 4 coming challenges.The theme for all challenges will be Valentine/ Love, and this first challenge is called Red or Pink.Having only a day to complete each project it can be difficult for me, who can sit moving around bits and pieces for hours - well, maybe it is just this kind of challenge I need once in a while...I couldn't decide wether to use red or pink, but then I came to think about a few other challenges going on, that wanted us to use red and pink together.Red and pink!I can't remember to have tried that before!Funny - I had to give it a go, and here is my project:

This is a card for my mother (firstcoming Sunday is Mothersday in Norway). Well, it's not only a card, it is a folder where she can put her Bingosheets.Every Tuesday night our local radiostation arranges bingo, and I know she likes to play bingo, so I decided to make this one for her (and to put some Bingostuff in it - unfortunately I forgot to buy the other sheet they use to play...still many days 'till Sunday, still time to buy it... :D)I used cardstock from Bazzill and DPs from Pion. The image is a Magnolia, coloured with ProMarkers and dressed in a paperpieced dress. I used a Spellbinders die for the panels behind Tilda. All edges are distressed (DistressInk WalnutStain). Then I decorated with lace, gazcloth, pearls, Liquid Pearls, flowers, pearlstrings, punched hearts, ribbons and bows. The Bingosheet is printed from the internet, I also sprayed two tags (one pink and one red) and stamped a little greeting onto them. On the punched hearts on the leftside of the card I wrote "MAMMA" ("MOTHER" in norwegian) (Think,and hope, I remembered everything).The next picture shows the inside, where I made two "pockets" to put the Bingosheets,

...and the backside. Very simple, but I had to show the lovely DP from Pion.
